Does MF show any Improvement over FSX?

P.S: Please make it a rule that screenshots of MS Flight may only be posted where we post pictures of OTHER non simulator screenshot posts eg. the likes of COD etc.

Flying Mouse I completely agree with you.

But I don't think that people would be so let down about Flight if they hadn

It is a fact, that it is completely "different" from any of the MS Flight Simulators that we have used before.
"Flight" seem to be aimed at a market of "aircraft game" newcomers, and to that end it may prove to be very successful.

Maybe, after a short while, they could become even more interested in the experience, and purchase the proper MS Flight Simulators for a more genuine flight simulator!

Perhaps, that way, we may accumulate even more flying enthusiasts, over time!

Paul....busy simulating... 8-)...!

Unfortunately the minimal information posted on the Flight website was deliberately vague & people could read into it what they liked.

That sums it up. We should have know better right from the start

It gives me no satisfaction to say "I told you so!"

Do you know what...

..every time I delve deeper into "Flight" I am constantly bombarded with the words; "X-Box"..and "Windows Live for Games"...
I haven't got an "X-Box", and "Windows Live for Games" has not yet been conceived by me, and I doubt if they ever will be, so why cant I just use a simple Windows XP/7 computer and software, to play all my existing Games/Simulators, etc?.
To me, the X-Box, and a Personal Computers, are two entirely different animals, involving entirely different societies!
Chocolate's "FS Host" Server enabled us to communicate with each other in our flight sims, without recourse to Microsoft's X-Box involvement!
It looks as though Microsoft have deliberately excluded any "Flight" coding to enable 3rd-party Servers to enable on-line Multiplayer activity using Windows PC's... ...!

Just thank goodness we still have good ol' FSX, and even FS9..

The recycle bin is always hungry for stupid "apps", or Gamulations like Flight..

But from what I have heard, I wouldn't even call flight a "gamulation." its just pure game, with no simulation properties at all...

It would be like calling Battlefield 3 a military simulator... Sure it has realistic weapon models, and it even takes bullet drop into account..

[Groundbound1]

You had me at "Gamulations"!

[quote]Before I start:

Brandon stated "What I would like to see are pure default comparisons between FSX and Flight. Obviously, if you have Flight DLC content, that is alright to use, as it only adds locations and planes. But adding stuff to FSX that changes the way the sim actually looks isn't a good comparison. "

Seriously, I respect you defending what you like BUT we must compare to what we have NOW and what we can replace it WITH to make an informed decision.

You expecting us to compare a 2006 default to a current to make that choice, when hell we don't even have access to international areas is just insane

"Flight" is a simulator full stop.

Truth? Or Blind faith?

I'm inclined to go with the latter.

Now Brandon, you can't be a MS policeman any more. Get yourself out of the poo before you lose too much face.

I don't think any seasoned flight simmer would think Flight was a Sim so why your defending it I don't know.

And before you say, I'm a newbie so I don't know anything, I've been flight simming for 6 years & I'm working on my first aircraft for FSX.

It isn't a sim,it isn't a game,its inbetween.

Its a game that wants to be a sim.
